Vision and Values

Learning for Life the Tadley Way

Pride, Kindness, Diversity and Community

At Tadley Community Primary School, we are passionate about equipping our children with the personal characteristics and educational outcomes for their successful futures. Our vision for each child is to develop an active curiosity of their world, discover their own interests and talents, and grow in their own confidence and love of learning. We do this by providing children with an irresistible invitation to learn through our knowledge-rich and diverse curriculum – Learning for Life the Tadley Way!

Our values of Pride, Kindness, Diversity and Community underpin everything we do at Tadley Community Primary School. Therefore, it is important to us that we celebrate our differences and we are a fully inclusive school – welcoming children and adults from all backgrounds, beliefs, cultures and circumstances. We want all our children to feel safe, loved and valued. That is why we passionately believe every child and adult in our school community is important and special to us and we always prioritise building strong relationships with everyone involved in our school.

We want our children to develop the key skills to develop them as life-long learners, and so have 6 learning behaviours which underpin our whole curriculum. These give children the opportunity to develop and grow not only academically but also the life skills needed to go out into their community and make a difference to their world.

Alongside these learning behaviours, we are also committed to supporting children’s mental health and wellbeing. We believe developing a child’s emotional intelligence, resilience and positive mental health early in their childhood will support them to be successful at every stage of their lives. One of our strategies for developing this is through the HeartSmart curriculum. HeartSmart helps children to understand and live out what we believe are excellent principles and practices for growing healthy hearts and minds.

The High Five principles of HeartSmart also complement our Learning Behaviours and support our 'Learning for Life the Tadley Way' curriculum.
